So many good moments in this, but this one made ME wild:
For what it’s worth, I think that sassy little cardigan is gonna drive ‘em wild.
Whoa! Jim with the sexy banter! Woo hoo!

I love this. I love every part of this. I just read the first seven chapters in a rush, like a crazy woman.
So many things to love, but in this last chapter, the "Would you still love me if I looked like this?" game is such a realistic touch. Silly and quirky, and so sad as a half-hearted attempt to find an escape route. Sigh. Whenever I read something this awesome, I get all envious.

Weeehooo!!! I LOVE it. It's my favorite chapter so far. Tere are very few stories that make me smile when I'm reading them, & I grinned so much my cheeks hurt. :)

Just had to check in and that I am digging this version of Jim. You know, "Jim Halpert, now with balls". Or something.
Date: August 10, 2007 06:21 pm Title: i never said that it was mine, i was just holding it
Wow. MY heart was pounding reading that. I could just feel Jim's anticipation, excitement, nervousness! So, so good. I cannot wait for more! You're good at this!

Wow. You are so good!!!! "It’s ridiculous, but he was suddenly inappropriately worried that his pants were sewn in a Sri Lankan sweat shop by a near-blind ten year old: another girl he’d disappointed." How freakin' good is that?! I am in awe : ) Keep going...

Unbelievably good chapter.

I love this story. It's a treat getting inside of Jim's head!
I love this moment:
The silence expanded for miles as Jim fiddled with the seam of his dress pants. He started to imagine who sewed them, and if it was even a person. It’s ridiculous, but he was suddenly inappropriately worried that his pants were sewn in a Sri Lankan sweat shop by a near-blind ten year old: another girl he’d disappointed.
That is so Jim. Looking forward to more!

How did I miss this earlier? No matter - caught up on it now and criminy, it's good. Really one of the most inventive, freshest takes I've read on the Pam/Jim thing in a while. Like a parallel universe of what must have been happening in Jim's head all those years - so funny in places, but also really poignant and incisive about the frustration and sadness and anger that he had to feel. Love how when he fantasizes about killing Roy, you just slip in almost randomly that he imagines Pam getting in the shower again - so funny (all too often in these fics, Jim is somehow neutured.) Anyway, just really sharply written - I'll be checking for updates!

Will he be allowed to say that every time he touches her it makes him want to weep?
That has got to be one of the saddest lines I've ever read here. Well done!
